Cultural heritage within postmodern reality

This article tries to reconstruct possible issues could appear when the postmodern mode of interpretation is applied to the problem of cultural heritage. The problem is more complicated because the idea of cultural heritage is mostly founded on the humanistic management theory and this theory also tries to use postmodern tools but more generally. So it is impossible to consider connections between heritage and postmodernity in separation to the discipline of humanistic management. The solution lies in the universal characteristics of postmodernity, especially in its theory about the knowledge. Article refers this issue through the concepts by Jean-François Lyotard and Michel Foucault. These concepts underline relativeness and localness of the knowledge. The same attributes affect categories it uses like historicity, identity and even genuineness or humanity. In that case it is impossible to treat heritage as a simple order of succession, but rather as a local effect. But there is also a limit in this treatment which is constituted by the subject, the man, who ought to build his subjectivity against polyphonic and meaningless form of world. This also refine the fundamental bet between the heir and the testator much more important than the circular movement of goods within community which stands behind the modern form of cultural heritage.
